No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

An interesting piece I picked up today - a large (160mm diameter) pressed suncatcher with Celtic knots and serpents. Unusually, the hanger is an applied curl of glass, rather than the usual pressed and drilled hole.

Googling proved fairly fruitless, though, with searches for Irish suncatchers bringing up lots of naff sites (complete with Irish-themed midis playing in the background) selling brand new Irish-related stained glass suncatchers to Americans.

On the plus side, I also came across Jerpoint Glass Studio, who make those stretched bowls also produced by Bayel, Ikea, Holmegaard, Flygsfors, and a few others. I'll probably split this bit into a new thread, though.
